Eine erholsame Nacht im Ruhrgebiet: Nettes, sauberes Hotel. Bin mit meinen beiden Kindern unter 12…read morehier gewesen. Wir bezahlten nur einen Erwachsenenpreis.( Die Kids waren kostenlos.) So war der Aufenthalt preiswert. Allerdings bekam ich gleich einen Meldezettel unter die Nase geschoben, der wohl nur dem einzigen Zweck diente, herauszufinden, ob die Kids wirklich unter 12 sind. Das war ein bisschen ätzend, aber verständlich.Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und praktisch eingerichtet. Es war ruhig. Das Frühstück ist sehr reichhaltig und viele Speisen waren sehr lecker. Das Hotel ist gut zu erreichen. Parken ist kein Problem.Würde jederzeit wieder hier übernachten, wenn ich wieder in der Gegend bin.

Due to 2010 being the year Essen was the cultural center of Europe, the menu was styled to feature a variety of classic "Ruhrpott" dishes, all of which were delicious and went great with a cold beer. Service was very good, with the waiter taking good care of our group of four throughout the dinner, without being overwhelming. Two small criticisms to make: One, the restaurant is not very well advertised, neither from the outside nor inside the hotel. We walked in and saw only a doorframe (mirrored in an old style), but nobody actually awaiting guests inside even though the place was open. Two, the appetizer caesar salad was very big, being more of a full lunch/dinner size portion. This was a bit strange, since all the other appetizers were perfectly portioned.
